Make it
I realize I posted my Browned Butter M&M Cookie recipe just last week, and I realize this recipe is pretty much identical, but I definitely wanted to post it separately because this chocolate chunk version will absolutely knock your socks off.
Just make ’em.
Just once.
Your life will be forever altered.
Melt a stick of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Keep a close watch on it, and swirl the pan around regularly! It will bubble up and sizzle…
Then, a minute or two later, the foam will appear.
And when the foam appears, it isn’t long before the butter is nice and brown. Take the pan off the heat when it gets to this light golden stage.
Because it’ll keep browning even after you take it off the stove.
When it’s nice and deep brown—but definitely not burned/black!—pour it into a dish…
And let it cool completely. This is difficult to do when you have a hankering for warm chocolate chip cookies…but it’s a necessity! If you pour warm butter into the dough, your life will spiral into a series of unfortunate events and you’ll live to regret it.
Once the browned butter has totally cooled, start making the cookie dough! It starts with a stick of softened butter. This, as you can see, is room temperature soft.
Add brown sugar and regular sugar…
Then mix it until it’s all combined, scraping the sides at least once to make sure it’s totally mixed together.
Once the butter and sugars are all mixed together, it’s time to add the browned butter with the mixer on low. And I can not emphasize enough how important it is to add the butter very, very slowly and gradually. If you add it too fast, the mixture will be wet and soupy. So just take your time…
Stopping halfway through to scrape the bowl and make sure it mixes in nice and slow. (And be sure to get ALL the dark brown, beautiful solids in there. That’s where the flavor is!)
Add in 2 eggs, one at a time…
Again (broken record here), scraping and mixing along the way.
Next, a good amount of vanilla.
Yum!
For the dry ingredients, combine flour…
Baking soda…
Salt…
And instant coffee granules! Now, I know the coffee-averse among you are balking at this ingredient…but please pretty please believe me when I tell you that the cookies do not taste like coffee. The coffee simply adds a depth and richness of flavor, and to prove it: Marlboro Man has never had a cup of coffee in his life because he thinks it will taste bad. And he’ll polish off these cookies like there’s no tomorrow.
As long as I never tell him there’s coffee in them.
I just turn the mixer on low, and add scoops of the dry ingredients so they mix in gradually.
And yes…I’m a-gonna say it: Scrape halfway through!
For the chocolate, I used a couple of these babies.
Soooooo much better than chocolate chips.
You’ve gotta trust me on this.
Just unwrap ’em…
Slice ’em into sticks…
Then chop ’em into chunks!
Throw them into the dough…
Then stir them in until they’re evenly distributed.
Use a scoop or a spoon…
To get the dough onto the cookie sheets. I used a baking mat, but you can use parchment…or nothing, if you’re feeling rebellious!
Totally optional here: I gathered up the extra bits of chocolate from the cutting board and sprinkled/pressed a few into each cookie.
Before I baked the cookies, I popped the pans into the fridge for about 15 minutes, just to firm them up a bit before they went into the oven
Then I baked ’em until they were beautiful and golden!
Emphasis on beautiful. And golden.
Transfer them onto a cooling rack and let them cool for .3554 seconds.
Then dig right in!
Ahh…look at that luscious chocolate. To die for!
Here’s the handy dandy printable. Just like the M&M cookies from last week…but I like these even better. They’re a keeper!
